The proposed bill would amend current statutes to establish a new youth charity special plate and create the Youth Charity Special Plate Fund. Specifically, it would require the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to issue these plates if a person pays a $32,000 implementation fee by December 31, 2025, and allows the fee payer to design the plate, subject to ADOT's approval. The bill also specifies that of the $25 fee for obtaining or renewing the plate, $8 will be an administration fee and $17 will be a donation to the newly established fund. Additionally, it mandates that all special plate administration fees be deposited into the state highway fund, while donations will be directed to the Youth Charity Special Plate Fund.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the administration of the Youth Charity Special Plate Fund, stating that the first $32,000 collected will be reimbursed to the entity that paid the implementation fee. It caps the annual administrative costs of the fund at 10% and requires the director to allocate funds to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization that aims to improve the lives of youth in Arizona. The bill also includes technical changes to existing statutes, updating references to include the new section for the youth charity special plate.
